CIPHER calls it what French authorities won't: a hit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCIPHER is a four-person rapid-response intelligence unit operating beneath the NSA, Interpol, and MI6. They don't officially exist. Neither do the cases they take. Operatives Sloane Voss and Ezra Calloway go in under cover - a luxury goods investigator and her tech consultant - and surface the edge of something vast: a network called LUXE that has turned the world's most coveted handbags into an intelligence operation moving freely across international borders, because no customs agent on Earth looks twice at a woman carrying a $40,000 bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNano-surveillance fibers woven into lambskin. Quantum-encrypted dead drops hidden in hardware. AI-generated forgeries that defeat even Hermès' own systems. LUXE has been operating undetected for nineteen years. And someone inside CIPHER has been keeping it that way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the investigation pulls Sloane and Ezra deeper into LUXE's world - through private auctions, holographic runway dead drops, and boardrooms that move billions through authenticated couture - the professional distance between them stops being distance. And when a classified file surfaces both their names under a column labeled Legacy Assets - Unactivated, the mission stops being just a mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bags hold secrets. So does everyone chasing them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBook One of The Couture Code trilogy.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vivienne Ashcroft\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798235666405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Elc Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/18\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.49d","brand":"Vivienne Ashcroft","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50665466069247,"sku":"9798235666405","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stitched-in-silence-vivienne-ashcroft-9798235666405","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
